Sarah Robles, a Mexican-American, brings home the Bronze in weightlifting. This is the first after 16 years. Reading news like this inspires me and I've no doubt, countless of young Americans. In case you're tempted to knock Robles' achievements, keep in mind that Desert Hot Springs, her hometown, is rife with gangs, drugs and poverty. Think before you shame her body-shape, as many talented female athletes have faced prejudice against their looks for decades.
